Okay so I was ill today so I decided to begin an new story with an idea I had, but the chapters are going to be extremely short. Anyway I hope you like it,
LATERS!
Rhydian's POV
I settle down into bed on Christmas Eve, my 3rd without Maddy. So far it's been than the first, when I couldn't stop thinking about her, but I have to keep it together. It's not fair to Mum and Dad if I stay in my room all day, since it's their favourite time of year. Last year Dad had pneumonia, and the doctor told him that he needed meat to build up his strength, and from then on we've eaten meat. I guess they found out what they were missing, but it's still all free range produce, which I cant complain about! It was that Christmas when I started calling them Mum and Dad, because they were really understanding and looked after me, just like the family I'd never had. That doesn't mean I've forgotten Ceri though, I still care for her but she'll never seem like a mother to me. I wake up early in the morning and by the sounds I can hear from downstairs, Mum and Dad are already up. I have a quick wash before going downstairs. As I walk into the kitchen, Mum comes and gives me an enormous hug, talking at lightning speed about how fantastic this Christmas is going to be. She wanders off to check on the turkey and Dad hands me a cup of tea. "She was never this excited about Christmas before you came Rhydian. After the doctor confirmed that we could never have children, she gave up all hope that any of this could happen. You've made our lives so much happier Rhydian, and I hope we've done the same. We will miss you so much when you go off to university in September" He rubs my arm, and walks off after Mum, attempting to calm her. His statement touches me, knowing how much they care about me. I can't imagine how much it must hurt to discover that you can't have children. Suddenly I get an urge, I want to tell them, I want to tell them everything; why I disappear every full moon and why Maddy had to run, but I'm scared that they will freak out. Suddenly there is a knock at the door, and I run to answer it. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Shout Tom and Shannon. My happiness obviously registers on my face as we group hug. I grab my coat and calling to Mum, head outside and walk up towards the moors. We do this every year and it's become a tradition, something we look forward to. I lead them to the top of the hill. The hill where we said goodbye to Maddy before she had to go. We each have a card and a fully wrapped gift. Next we place them under a rock, with last year's, and the year before that's Christmas gifts. Finally we stand in silence for a moment, and remember. We remember our best friend; all the good times and the bad. We remember so that we never forget…
Maddy's POV
I wake up early on Christmas morning, and walk silently out of the den. I begin to walk through the forest, enjoying the serenity, the peace. I get to a hill and begin to climb until I reach the top. I stand up and allow the rising sun to fill me with warmth, despite the snow that falls around me. I do this every year since we left Stoneybridge. I greet the sun, facing towards my home. Even though it's been 3 and 1/2 years, I still miss my old life. I even miss school. I wish I could go back, but I cannot. Firstly there is Doctor Whitewood. Secondly, my time in the wild has changed me and I'm not sure that I would be able to control my wolf in the human world. Thirdly, there is Rhydian. I love him with all my heart. And that is why I have come to the decision to let him go. I can't give him the life he wants, the life he deserves. Not anymore. If I love him, I must let him go…
I told you it was short, so I know its not ideal but I wanted to post something so there you are! (and all chapters will probably be this short)
WATCH THIS SPACE!
